How to Use Branching Off for Releases

Even with trunk-based development, would you use branching off for a particular release or maybe just put a tag for a release and branch off if you need to do some fixes? How would you proceed with that? So you're monthly on your plans, release cadence. You're not going to allow stuff to come up from trunk into the release branch that's more features. And if that's not acceptable to the team that's being told no they can't merge, then maybe you should have a faster release cadence than monthly. These are the gates that might drive the team's larger experience.
